From Promise to Practice: Why HRMS Has Yet to Fully Revolutionize Forensic Toxicology
Luke N Rodda and others
Lateral flow immunoassay for amatoxins detection in human urine compared to liquid chromatography-high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry
Aline C Vollmer and others
Amatoxin-containing mushrooms, which contribute to many intoxications each year are of particular interest for clinicians and toxicologists as patients require special treatment in hospital. To confirm the presence of amatoxins, approaches for their fast, sensitive, and reliable identification must ...
How diquat kills: Investigation of the toxicological profiles of diquat and bromide ion concentrations in serum by LC-MS/MS and capillary electrophoresis in a suicide case
Maiko Kusano and others
Herbicide poisoning commonly involves both paraquat and diquat (DQ); DQ poisoning alone is less frequently reported, and especially rare in Japan. We present a case of fatal DQ poisoning after attempted suicide by ingesting DQ dibromide, requiring intensive care including hemodialysis (HD). ...
Oral fluid device performance in identifying amphetamine, methamphetamine, and cocaine use in Brazilian drivers
Bruno Pereira dos Santos and others
Stimulant use while driving is a high-risk factor for collisions and fatalities. In recent years, several strategies to curtail impaired driving were employed on highways, including on-site oral fluid testing. This study evaluated four roadside oral fluid testing devices (AquilaScan®, Dräger ...
Quantification of daridorexant, lemborexant and suvorexant in whole blood using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
Munchelou M Gomonit and Britni N Skillman
Suvorexant, lemborexant, and daridorexant are dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) used to treat insomnia, offering a lower abuse potential due to their lack of gamma-aminobutyric acid activity compared to traditional sleep medications. Still, DORAs remain drugs of forensic interest due to ...
Preparation and Stability Characterization of Flavor Ingredients in E-liquids for Pre-clinical Assessment of ENDS products: A case study of 38 flavor ingredients in a single mixture
John H Miller and others
E-Vapor products generate aerosols typically containing nicotine, flavor ingredients, and aerosol formers (propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin). Whilst many flavor ingredients are “generally recognized as safe (GRAS)” for oral use in the food industry, there exist knowledge gaps on their ...
North America Laboratory Survey Data for Drug Testing in Drug Impaired Driving and Traffic Fatality Investigations
Amanda L D’Orazio and others
In 2004, the National Safety Council’s Alcohol, Drugs and Impairment Division (NSC-ADID) set out to provide guidance for the standardization of laboratory testing practices in driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) and fatal motor vehicle crash investigations after identifying a lack of ...
Hydroxyzine in Impaired Driving Investigations
Jolene J Bierly and Amanda L D’Orazio
Hydroxyzine (Vistaril©) is an unscheduled, first-generation antihistamine prescribed for nausea/vomiting, atopic dermatitis or eczema, and anxiety. It can produce adverse central nervous system depressant (CNS) effects such as fatigue, sedation, and impaired memory and concentration. Several ...
